§ Mr. RichardsTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales what progress is being made in Wales to meet the target of reducing sulphur dioxide emissions by 60 per cent. by the year 2003.
§ Mr. Gwilym JonesVarious measures are being taken throughout the United Kingdom to reduce emissions of 579W sulphur dioxide, including retrofitting 800MW of power plant with flue gas desulphurisation equipment. Further details are provided in "This Common Inheritance; The Second Year Report"—cm. 2068—which the Government published last month.
Data on sulphur dioxide emissions are not separately available for Wales. However, information on atmospheric concentrations of sulphur dioxide is given in table 3.20 of the "The Environment Digest for Wales, No. 6 1991", a copy of which is in the Library of the House.
